carles12 a écrit:The Wreck of the Titan posted just before the real story

The original title was Futility, the author was Morgan Robertson and the book was published in 1898 by M. F. Mansfied. A second edition was of course, published in 1912, juste after the sinking of the Titanic, under the title The Wreck of the Titan and a translation in French is available here : http://www.corsaire-editions.com/?q=le+naufrage+du+titan

Well, 1912 was the apogee of the White Star Line, and the Titanic symbolized the progress of this time. People had confidence in the future, but the sinking of the Titanic was a sort of return to the reality... It was like the society realized suddenly that nothing can be perfect - not even the Titanic!

There is a survivor (but I forgot her name) who said: "The world woke up on the morning of April 15, 1912."

It was well said.

Two years later, the First World War was declared, and became one of the greatest horrors of our History. This is also why the Titanic is so famous, because the sinking symbolized the end of an era that has gone with her (do not forget that in english a ship is like a lady).

However, what would you mean in "Different strange facts" ? The same thing for "Different associations". Are the different associations existing nowadays ?

Thank you very much for your help, you and everybody !

In "Different strange facts", I think you could talk about this guy who appeared at the top of the 4th funnel, about the number of the titanic which in a mirror, says "no pope", about the letter of George Beedem, a crew member who wrote "I'd love to see this damn boat at the bottom of the sea", and all these strange facts that are now interpreted as warnings for the tragedy.

In "Different associations", you could talk about all these associations created for the preservation of everything about the Titanic: the AFT (Association Française du Titanic), the THS (Titanic Historical Society), the NPS (Nomadic Preservation Society), etc....You can even say that the Sinking created an enthusiasm all around the world, not only in the countries where the Titanic was seen (Ireland, England, France) or expected (USA)...
